<p>This unit is concerned with the nature of managing in global business. Specifically, the unit considers unique or unpredicted demands placed on managers by new and challenging business environments, and hence, implications for management development needs. The world of business is constantly being shaped and reshaped by social, economic, environmental and technological forces. As a result of the interdependent nature of these influences, the conduct of business in one part of the globe can have profound consequences for individuals, managers, businesses and communities in other locations worldwide. This unit develops an evolving account of international business practices in the context of the environment in which they occur. Using a critical approach, the unit examines theory and practice of management and organisations when operating across national and cultural borders. The implications of these practices for responsible management development are identified and discussed.</p>
